    D&D 5E When do players "gain" their actions?

    Whenever several possible events occur I use two rules to settle things out. 1st if it is between two creatures (PC, NPC, or Creature) simultaneous actions are performed in Initiative order. For other actions Order is determined by the active creature (Pc or Npc). So a character on his...

    D&D 5E Dark One's Blessing vs. Shrapnel Explosion

    for these I default to whoever is active at that moment. who's turn it is then I go to initiative order. Initiative order sounds fair to me.

    D&D General XP Awards for -- what????

    I give the normal assumed XP for combat/defeating an encounter, ie sneaking pass or fooling them somehow. I give Xp while the characters are in town for social encounters of importance and when dealing with a new place, town, city. These rewards drop off so it encourages players/characters to...

    D&D 5E Spiritual Weapon vs. Fire Shield

    There is also a difference in Melee attack and Melee spell attack, I would think giving you wiggle room to rule however you want without saying it is RAI or RAW

    D&D 5E DM's: How Do You Justify NPC's Having Magic/Abilities That Don't Exist in the PHB?

    Well you don't have to justify things of that nature I think. I have told my players their is a ton of magic available (To them and others) in the world that the PHB does not cover. Those are the most common adventurer spells around. Lots of rituals and other things exist and players can learn...

    D&D 5E Question on prestidigitation cooling and heating matter

    I think the spell limits things to three effects at a time so no more than three cubic feet could be heated or cooled at once. It magically starts and magically stops. Also it couldn't, in my mind, heat or cool enough to inflict any sort of damage so no boiling water or frozen water as either...

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    It may also be that Keyleth once knowing who Laudna was (Little girl in a tree) may feel guilty enough to help raise her. Remember Keyleth has a history with her already even if at this point she is unaware.

    Cool. I appreciate any assistance with this. I have done editing up to the monsters, NPCs and that would be it, but another set of eyes is always good. What I wish I had more is Play testing. I have done some running the base game 2-3 times but only up to 6th or so level and it seems to work...

    I have posted to several reddit and Facebook places. Never thought to do Scribd. Never thought to do a cover sheet or anything like that most people just post something here, or other similar places. and I have updated some of it but stalled out on doing monsters and such as I was double...

    D&D 5E What is your "go to" campaign concept?

    I usually have a weird mix of things. Mostly sand boxy but I have the players be members of an adventurer's guild. This provides structure and mission based stuff to fill in between wandering. I also sprinkle the world with campaign "Secrets". Places or pieces of history that shape or affected...

    WotC What Official 5E non-D&D Game Do You Want To See from WotC?

    5e would be an easy conversion for WOTC. I mean if rank amateurs can do it https://www.enworld.org/threads/5e-compatible-gamma-world.674121/ Then professionals should do it better.

    D&D General What Have You Awarded XP For?

    You have for exceptional roleplaying but I give it out for RP in general. Usually when they get to a new town and make connections or enemies they get some. When exploring new things etc as well. Now I admit is less than what they get to for dungeons, fighting and other things but it is still...

    D&D 5E 5e Compatible Gamma World

    Hey RPGneo To be honest since I was the Game so to speak. When I ran I made character sheets from scratch. I could then copy and drop all the mutations and class abilities onto the sheet so My players seldom had to reference anything else. Even eventually added tech gear as they found it. So no...

    D&D General Familiars and Spiritual weapon, Turrets and Tentacles, some have HP some do not, why?

    I just assume the person fighting did swing at those things ( non hpt summons etc) during the round and saw it had no effect. It is not as if the 6 seconds and a roll to hit is the only action. The are swinging and attacking the whole time. One swing goes through the that ng they know to ignore it.

    Mutation points are granted by each mutation. Should be right beside name of mutation (MP=#) that number is added into a pool and spent however the player wishes when triggering mutations. As Far as edits I am working on the monster/creatures section and it is slow going making sure I...
